Description

Oxford, 1663 - a seething hotbed of intellectual, religious and political tension. A young woman, Sarah Blundy, stands accused of the murder of Robert Grove, a fellow of New College. Four witnesses describe the events surrounding his death: Marco da Cola, a visiting Venetian physician; Jack Prescott, the son of a supposed traitor; John Wallis, chief cryptographer to both Cromwell and Charles II and master spy; and Anthony Wood, the famous Oxford antiquary.
